Carrot Juice for Fertility??

Costco has a great organic carrot juice that comes in a 3-pack. Now, this is not something we can drink by itself, but like to add it to a POM juice and wheat grass smoothie. We've recently read online that it can help you nutritionally with fertility! Here are some facts:

Carrot is one of the most healing foods that provides the finest and highest quality in nutrients, especially from its juice. It is an excellent source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and B6.

It is rich with biotin, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, organic sodium and some trace minerals.

The known phytonutrients in carrots are lutein, lycopene, anti-oxidants alpha, beta and gamma carotenes, zeaxanthin and xanthophyll. You don't need to remember these fancy names, but just remember that phytonutrients are nature's marvelous provision for healing of various diseases.

Carotenes, the famous ingredient in carrots, is an anti-oxidant that has powerful healing virtues for many diseases. Drinking a glass of carrot juice daily will do much more for you than many bottles of supplement tablets.

One of the reasons for infertility is lack of nutrients and enzymes in your dietary. Carrot juice taken regularly, is able to nourish your body back to fertility.

Pomegranite Juice for Fertility?

I've read all over the place that Pom Juice is great for building up your lining, and I'm all for that. When  you are taking so many drugs, it's nice to hear about a "natural" cure, if you will. So I've been drinking roughly 8 oz. a day. I've also read that it is great for your general health... helps prevent cancer and heart disease!

I like POM Wonderful juice from Costco. The price at Costco is much much better then at other stores.  Here are just a few fun facts from antioxidants-guide.com.  I highlighted the most important one in red :)

In fact pomegranate antioxidant levels are three times the amount of green tea or red wine. 

Among the many many benefits of this wonder fruit are...

• Helps Lower Blood Pressure
• Has Anti-aging capabilities
• Promotes good cardiovascular health
• Helps with a healthy pregnancy
• Keeps cholestrol levels healthy
• Lowers blood sugars
• Fights Inflammation
• Reduces cell damage

It is believed through recent study that pomegranate juice may help keep fatty deposits from collecting on artery walls. In one study, mice who were given pomegranate juice were able to reduce this build up by over 30%. 

However these results do not directly translate to humans but it does show that pomegranate juice antioxidant may be a very valuable tool for preventing hardening of the arteries and such related diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. 

Pomegranate juice is high in fiber and has substantial amounts of potassium which is important in sending nerve impulses as well as releasing energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates during metabolism.

It contains vitamin C and niacin too. 

If you have anemia then take notice as pomegranates are thought to contain very high levels of iron. 

Pregnant women take note too. The womb lining (endometrium) where the actual implant of fertilised eggs takes place almost entirely consists of blood and pomegranates contain high levels of cobalt which is an essential raw material for the synthesis of blood. Cobalt also contributes to the colour of the fruit too. 

Phytochemicals in Pomegranate juice help prevent heart disease and cancer.
